Correct answer

  • CEl método boca a boca-nariz.Mouth-to-mouth-and-nose.
Explanation

In a baby, the mouth and nose are small and very close together. So rescue breaths are given by covering both with your mouth at the same time (the mouth-to-mouth-and-nose method), with a small volume of air. Artificial respiration can be given to babies.
